Johanna Pepper married to Robert Dunn Johnston

[Lucy2]

 The most reliable method of confirming that the Johanna referred to is my Great Aunt is if in her marriage certificate her father James Pepper, who was a Fisherman, is mentioned or any reference to her place of birth being Airth in Stirlingshire, Scotland.
Any help in sourcing this information is greatly appreciated.

Hi John

Short of you purchasing a "printout" copy of the NZ marriage record for Johanna PEPPER, the next best thing would be to try and find a "family tree" at one of the online sites which may (or may not) contain reliable information.     Perhaps too, there might be a marriage notice in a newspaper or similar. 

Unfortunately, we only have access to marriage index which does not give parental information.

Hi again John

Have just had a very quick peep at family trees published at ancestry.com.   There are 16 or so for the Johanna* / Robert JOHNSTON family ... several record the Robert Dunn JOHNSTON (died 1932) as her husband - but give little in the way of additional information for him.   (I'd therefore be very cautious about information contained in these .    )

[ *  Johanna PEPPER born Airth .. etc.  ]

Will see what else can be found.

Hi John

Well, just as some sort of clarification that Johanna's husband was not Robert Dunn JOHNSTON, this from electoral rolls >

As already mentioned earlier, Johanna and Robert's children were born in Auckland.

1911 - Auckland West electoral roll

JOHNSTON - Johanna - married
JOHNSTON - Robert - Tram conductor  ... both at 16 Bayfield Road

They are also together at Auckland West (at a new address, Albany Road) in years 1914 and 1919.

Skipping to 1935 - Auckland - Parnell electoral roll
Added :  All still at same address in 1938 - Remuera roll with exception of Thelma Ruth.

JOHNSTON
- Johanna - married
- Robert - motorman*
- John William Robert - salesman
- Thelma Ruth - spinster
- Marion Frances - spinster   ... all residing at 6a Lillington** Road

[Note :  *Looks like Robert has by this time graduated to being a driver of trams (motorman) ?
**  Lillington Road - same as given in Johanna's cemetery record.  ]

So that info would seem to eliminate the Robert Dunn JOHNSTON.
